Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Higher Education.


Higher Education

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving way a third time—I will not intervene again unless he says something extraordinary or outrageous, but I know that he will not. On the pupil premium, he knows that the biggest challenge in widening access is prior attainment. Unless we have more applications from people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds—as he and I do—we simply will not get the admissions we want. That is about the pupil premium and about supporting people in schools. Surely that is right.
